Understanding Dry Eye
Your tear film has 3 layers: mucus, water, and oil, which work together to keep your eyes moist and protected. When any part of the tear film is compromised, your eyes can become dry and irritated. Common causes include:
- Meibomian gland dysfunction
- Insufficient tear production
- Eye surface inflammation
- Environmental factors
Dry eye can be persistent or fluctuate throughout the day, and proper diagnosis is key to effective treatment.
Our Diagnostic & Dry Eye Screening Process
We take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing dry eye, using a combination of in-office tests and imaging tools:
- Subjective TBUT to evaluate tear stability
- Schirmer’s Test to measure tear production
- Meibography to assess meibomian gland health
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) evaluation for chalazion, stye, and dry eye treatment
- Demodex assessment for blepharitis
- Nasal spray and medicated eye drops as part of tailored therapy
Our team will recommend the best treatment plan based on your test results and symptoms.
Personalized Dry Eye Treatments
We provide a wide range of treatments to manage dry eye effectively, including:
- Medicated eye drops for inflammation or tear supplementation
- Meibomian gland expression to relieve blockages and improve oil flow
- OptiLIGHT by Lumenis to reduce inflammation and improve meibomian gland function
- TearCare for gentle, targeted heat therapy on the eyelids
- Punctal plugs to help retain tears and maintain eye moisture
- Amniotic membrane therapy to promote healing and reduce inflammation
Additional treatments may include in-office procedures and at-home care tailored to your symptoms.
OptiLIGHT by Lumenis
for Dry Eye
OptiLIGHT is a noninvasive treatment designed to manage dry eye symptoms by reducing eyelid inflammation. The procedure uses pulses of light to improve tear break-up time and meibomian gland function.
A session typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes, and the number of treatments needed varies by patient. Your eligibility for OptiLIGHT will be determined during a comprehensive eye exam to ensure it is the right option for your eyes.
TearCare Treatment
The TearCare System at Eye Sea Davis is designed for adults with evaporative dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. This innovative treatment uses gentle, localized heat to warm the eyelids, helping to liquefy blockages in the meibomian glands and restore natural oil flow.
By improving tear quality, TearCare can relieve dryness, irritation, and discomfort, helping your eyes feel healthier and more comfortable. Experience a targeted, in-office solution for lasting dry eye relief.ptoms.

Real Patient Experiences
The tech person who conducted my eye exam was very competent and the optometrist was clear, knowledgeable, and encouraging.The staff at Eye Sea have been extremely helpful to me in working through a problem with my frames. I don’t know the name of the young woman who works at the front desk but she has been patient and knowledgeable on three separate occasions. And my problem has been solved!
Vicki
Dr. Virk is amazing. She is totally committed to what my needs are and is a dedicated advocate for her patients. I left my appt with tons of peace of mind that my vision needs will be met. Thank you EyeSea. Doug
Douglas
Dr. Gaganjot Virk was incredibly kind and helpful! I received a thorough eye checkup and finally understood the actual issue with my eyes. After the first visit, I had a minor problem with my glasses, and she generously offered a free follow-up visit. Kudos to her assistant too; she was very courteous and dedicated to her work!
Shalk
Everything about my appointment was perfect: the staff was ready for me when I arrived. They helped me navigate the digital documents and expertly took me through all the testing even while orienting a new employee. Most importantly, Dr Virk was so pleasant & made me feel comfortable immediately. She listened to my concerns & collaborated with me to come up with an amazing remedy! I can see so well now.
Carol
I’ve been doing my post Lasik appointments here and they’ve been amazing! The doctor walked me through how to better take care of my lash extensions and answered a ton of other questions. And they always see me right away at my appointment time (which hasn’t been the case at any other eye doctors I’ve been to in the last decade). Would definitely recommend!
